with tables, cd stereo, interior looked good but needs cleaned up a
little. l test drove it and it ran pretty good, shifted ok it is
automatic, brakes were good, all lights and signals worked, windshield
wipers worked, ran smooth ran straight no pulling, no shaking, easy to
handle, when l first backed up to go on the test drive l did notice a
little shaking but it stopped as soon as l got on the road, tires were
good although one has a plug in the back, was told that it may have a
slight oil leak but is not bad, looked at the engine and it looked clean
and no vibrating, has 164,000 miles on it. Is this a good deal for this
van? There were 2 lights that lit on the dash one said service anti lock,
the other said service traction control which the guy said was because one
tire on the back was just slightly smaller than the rest. Should l buy this
van?

It has problems and needs work. You won't get much for $1000

but I would pass on this one. It won't be a bargain.

A $1K vehicle is worth what you pay for it.

Your gamble, but it doesn't look good for you.
